Time came to June 1st in a blink of an eye, this day was as plain as usual, but there was a trace of waves, because today I have unconsciously arrived at the launch conference of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

For ordinary people, this is just an ordinary thing that can no longer be ordinary, but for netizens who pay attention to the entertainment industry, after this period of publicity bombardment of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", they are looking forward to today's press conference, because they want to know if the participating actors have their own idols, and for the media, today is another day of fierce news, especially the production budget of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" is as high as 200 million, which is a figure that can only be reached by the box office of countless Chinese films! It can be said that Chen Yongren really knows how to play, and he really dares to play!

Since the filming of this film is mainly in NMG and Beijing, the launch conference is also held in the most important hall of the management office of Huairou Film and Television Base. After all, "Infernal Affairs" has also been filmed here before, and now "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is known to everyone, and now who doesn't know and doesn't know the three words Chen Yongren, so there is no need for Chen Yongren to speak, the management office not only provides the venue for free, but also takes the initiative to contract the layout of the press conference, after all, they also hope that more and more big crews will come here to shoot, so that the reputation of the film and television base will be hit, the performance will go up, and there will be more tickets.

In the backstage lounge, Chen Yongren saw the actors, so he greeted everyone: "Everyone has arrived, hard work"

"Director Chen, good," Chen Kun and the others hurriedly greeted Chen Yongren.

After chatting with the actors for a while, the press conference is about to start.

It didn't take long for Chen Daqi to come over with the manager of the production department, and this time there were four investors in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", with Longteng Film Production Studio accounting for 70% and the rest 10% each.

"Uncle Chen, please go for a trip in person, just call your subordinates over" Chen Yongren walked up quickly to say hello.

"Chen Dong" and several other actors also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, after all, people of Chen Daqi's status usually can't even see each other, let alone say a few words.

"Are Yongren ready?" Chen Daqi looked at Chen Yongren and asked with a smile.

"The studio has been set up, the actors are all in place, and we are waiting for the filming to begin," Chen Yongren replied.

"Then I wish the filming of the film a smooth box office hit in advance, and I hope to see an excellent Chinese blockbuster again soon"

"To borrow Uncle Chen's words, it's hard to think about movies now that they don't want to sell well," Chen Yongren responded with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the staff came to inform, and then everyone walked to the press conference!

The entire venue is nearly 2,000 square meters, which is considered a large hall, but there are rows of reporters sitting inside, and a group of photographers around are adjusting the camera angle.

When Chen Yongren and others walked into the venue, the originally discussed scene became even more lively.

The reporter below couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how long has it been, Chen Yongren has become the blackest dark horse in history from an unknown little person, and the movies he directed have broken countless records, and then he has won the Best Director at the Xiangjiang Film Awards at the age of 23. According to rumors through the grapevine, the investment in the second film will be as high as 200 million, which is a box office that many directors cannot reach in their lifetime, and this is just the amount of people's film investment, which is really unplayable. Judging from the amount of film investment, Chen Yongren is now catching up with Hollywood. For many young directors who are still struggling on the road to making profits from commercial films, there is really no harm if there is no comparison, and people are more popular than people.

So now this "Ghost Blows the Lantern", which has not yet started filming, has attracted great attention from countless media, and the Weibo topic has already exceeded 100 million...

The discussion in the audience did not last long, and after everyone on the stage took their seats, Chen Yongren's assistant made a cameo appearance as the host again to host the press conference.

"Welcome all media reporters and friends to come to the launch conference of the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" ......"

"First of all, please ...... Mr. Chen Daqi" After saying something, he gave the microphone to Chen Daqi.

"Looking for the Dragon" is the second film directed by Chen Yongren, and I won't say much about the achievements of the first film, I believe everyone knows it. This is our second cooperation, just like the first unreserved belief in Director Chen, after "Infernal Affairs", I believe that Director Chen will once again bring the audience a better movie...... "After all, the draft does not forget to dig wells, although Chen Yongren has money to invest in this film, but in line with the principle of win-win cooperation, it is still co-invested with three companies, and Longteng Film Studio accounts for the majority." When I first saw this investment amount, the CEOs of several companies were shocked, this is too big, but looking at the box office achieved by Infernal Affairs, several people also exclaimed and followed suit, and finally the investment ratio this time was half of Longteng Studio, Chen Daqi's Beijing Film and Television Company accounted for 20%, and the rest was accounted for by Wanda and Guangguang.

As soon as Chen Daqi's words fell, the reporters in the audience couldn't wait to speak.

"Chen Dong, it is understood that the genre of this film has no reference object in Chinese films, and this time the production cost has set a new record for the production cost of Chinese films, and the investment is as high as 200 million yuan to shoot a blockbuster, what is the proportion of Beijing film and television investment? If the box office failure will affect your company's operation? And why are you so optimistic about Director Chen's attempt at this new genre? Why don't you continue to cooperate with the second part of Infernal Affairs?"

Chen Daqi smiled and said: "Director Chen is a person who likes innovation and has an adventurous spirit, and I also have an adventurous spirit in my personality, so I am willing to contribute to the enrichment of the classification of Chinese films with Director Chen." Moreover, this film invests in Longteng Studio, even if the investment in this film fails, it will not affect the performance of Beijing Film and Television Company. And there are a lot of super blockbusters in Hollywood every year, and there are one or two that suffer heavy losses, but we can't dare to try because we are afraid of losses, so there will be no progress in Chinese films, so even if we fail, we have to shoot, because we want to expand the genre of movies and explore the market for this film, so why care about temporary gains and losses? And I believe in Director Chen's ability, this film is our second cooperation, just like the first time, I still believe in his ability. And young people just have a lot of ideas, brains, often some styles that have been filmed badly, young people can bring you a different feeling, such as Infernal Affairs, and our current domestic film market style and type are too monotonous, so this "Looking for the Dragon" will also open up a new genre for Chinese films......"

After speaking for nearly eight or nine minutes, it was Chen Yongren's turn to speak.

"Hello Director Chen, can you briefly talk about the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", what story is it about?"

"The full name of this movie is "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon", and we have also done some publicity on the Internet during this time, this movie is a drama film of oriental fantasy, action, suspense, and adventure. It is probably about a few people who accidentally found that the lovers who died on the grassland many years ago are still alive, and then entered the grassland, found a thousand-year-old tomb, and then used some ancient techniques to explore a thrilling adventure.

The reporter didn't give up and asked, but Chen Yongren just didn't say the specific plot, and then turned the target to Chen Kun.

"Hello Chen Kun, how does it feel to appear in such a big-cast movie for the first time? Will you worry that your acting skills can?......'t keep up?"

"Thank you very much Director Chen for giving me the opportunity to star this time, I am very honored to work with all the outstanding actors, I believe that under the leadership of Director Chen, we will definitely make an excellent movie and give back to the audience who support us..."

"Hello Yang Mi, this is the first time you have starred in a movie is Director Chen's big production, as a freshman acting student, the starting point can be said to be very high. So, are you and Director Chen a couple? Did you rely on Director Chen to get the opportunity to perform this time? And how do you feel about Director Chen?...

"Actually, I made my debut as a child star, so when I was a child, I also starred in some big directors' movies, and this opportunity to perform also relied on my own ability, and I am very grateful to Director Chen for giving me the opportunity to star this time. Then I, like all Director Chen's fans, like Director Chen's movies, so I hope he can make more good movies" Yang Mi also responded to the question, although she is not very famous, she has seen a lot of big scenes, so she has long been familiar with this kind of reporter's question.

The reporters pursed their lips and didn't believe it, after all, an 18-year-old girl in the flower season, the first time she starred in a movie was this kind of blockbuster, no one believed her if there was nothing to do, so she was asked all kinds of digging pits, but fortunately, Yang Mi coped with it well, otherwise she would have fallen on the reporter's path...

Later, he interviewed Gao Yuanyuan, the number one female in the movie, and several other leading actors...

The interview lasted for more than two hours, and after sending off the reporters, everyone went to the five-star hotel next door to the base for lunch.

After lunch, I went back to rest, and the first shot will be filmed tonight.

And then the Internet was already full of news about the launch conference of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and there was actually a good way to write about Honey Renlian... is still very marketable, Chen Yongren was speechless when he watched it, but who called him young and golden, so handsome and talented, the point is that he is still single and there is no scandal after becoming popular, so after seeing such a young actress who is lucky enough to star in this movie, I started to associate ... However, Chen Yongren doesn't care about this, after all, the Qing is self-purifying, and when the heat comes down after a while, this kind of rumor will disappear.

So after Chen Yongren arranged his work, he went back to the hotel room to rest and wait for tonight's shooting.
